I understand your frustration Rob. The point is that we do not live in a democracy, but in a representative republic. We vote in our representatives based on their positions on issues and expect them to vote their conscience. They are not puppets to be manipulated by the polls (although that's not always the case). And they do not have to do whatever you want them to do. That's why they have to stand for re-election.
